I Am Loaded with Passive Skills

Chapter 3610: Chapter 1761: Crossing the River of Time—Nian’s Passage to the Past, Seeking Self, Finger Sword Toward Lord (3)

Looking at his past self making arrogant remarks with the perspective of an outsider, Xu Xiaoshou pressed his lips together and chose silence.

Jin Ren naturally couldn’t end the mission and leave so easily.

But having been caught by his past self, he couldn’t escape in a short time.

He didn’t want to die. After all, the power gap between his past self and his present self after the war wasn’t significant—they could both instantly kill Jin Ren!

Thinking it over, all self-proofs would fall into the trap of self-proving:

"How do I prove I’m not a bad person?"

Apart from not explaining, only the intervention of a third party could solve the predicament of the self-proof trap.

Jin Ren was very clever and quickly thought of a very proper roundabout solution, instantly sending a friendly thought dao:

"Hello, Xu Xiaoshou, I am your future self."

Upon hearing, the past Xu Xiaoshou unconsciously raised a corner of his mouth again.

He always liked this despised crooked smile, but this time, midway through the crooked smile...

His body suddenly stiffened.

His pupils rapidly dilated.

If you looked closely, you could even see the pores on his skin dilating, every hair standing on end.

In that moment, Xu Xiaoshou found it amusing.

He could even imagine how terrified his past self must have been upon hearing those words!

"Hello?"

"Would he say hello?"

Whoever heard someone suddenly appear claiming to be their future self would instinctively feel skeptical, right?

But he could also speak in a language only he knew...

Xu Xiaoshou hadn’t really imagined the further development of similar incidents.

Thus, he knew that his past self had no response plan at this moment.

Knowing himself best, Xu Xiaoshou understood his greatest fear was being unprepared!

"What a miraculous feeling..."

He stood on the post-battle ravaged battlefield, witnessing his past self’s helplessness, experiencing the perspective of a future person.

The firsthand perspective was already terrifying enough.

Apparently, the future person’s perspective was so... fun?

"But, I can accept plane traversal, so how can I not accept the actor and the future person?"

Xu Xiaoshou knew how high his level of acceptance was.

He continued to apply intense pressure, giving his past self no chance to question or attack, letting Jin Ren telepathically communicate:

"You guessed right, hello, is the same hello."

"And I am actually not your future self, I am your future second true body."

Second true body!

Xu Xiaoshou knew well the weight of these four words.

He understood the names given to Jin Ren in the five regions, whether it’s clone, demi-saint incarnation, avatar, false body... and so on!

The private, specific, and accurate title "second true body" was solely known by himself.

It would definitely compromise his past self’s psychological defenses, achieving a unified front, together questioning Ai Cangsheng.

But this time, Xu Xiaoshou saw his past self’s face remain emotionless—so fake he is... or me.

It doesn’t matter, it’s all an act!

The more panicked the heart, the calmer the facade.

It’s just to avoid letting anyone see that your soul is boiling.

His past self remained silent, so Jin Ren delivered the final blow:

"My name is Jin Ren, please try to see me as a person, thank you."

If the second true body still had a slip of the tongue, this fleeting thought at naming should not have been mentioned to anyone later.

After all, the secret of the name Jin Ren, and the tragic life completely contrary to it, were extremely private personal matters.

It was enough!

He had sufficiently shaken his past self’s true heart!

Xu Xiaoshou looked on expectantly, soon seeing his past self relax.

He gripped his sword, slowly focused his gaze at the distant Ai Cangsheng, and uttered words he didn’t remember saying:

"Ai Gou, I never imagined you also had such accomplishment in the path of illusion..."

With a tightening of eyebrows and eyes, he lifted Hidden Bitter in his hand, suddenly opting to strike violently:

"Ai Gou, take my sword!"
